"Arsenal fear Cristhian Mosquera will miss at least six weeks to add to their defensive problems. The Spanish defender is set for further tests to establish the full extent of the ankle injury suffered in the 2-0 midweek win over Brentford. Mosquera's absence will be another blow to the Gunners, who also currently have first-choice centre-back pairing Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba sidelined."
"The 21-year-old required treatment after landing awkwardly before being substituted, and early concerns are he will miss between six and eight weeks. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his summer signing from Valencia required further examination as he added: "Mosquera is the one that is more complicated. We have another test today." He also told Friday's news conference Saliba is "days" away from returning after a knock in training ruled him out of recent games against Chelsea and Brentford."
Cristhian Mosquera suffered an ankle injury in the 2-0 midweek win over Brentford and is set for further tests to determine the severity. Early indications suggest he will miss between six and eight weeks after requiring treatment and being substituted. Arsenal already have first-choice centre-back pairing Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba sidelined, compounding defensive problems. Manager Mikel Arteta said Mosquera's situation is more complicated and another test is planned. Arteta added that Saliba is days away from returning after a training knock, while Gabriel may not return until January with a thigh injury. Mosquera and Piero Hincapie had been deputising for the injured pair.
